Do you think Vivekananda was really great?

Sorry don't even know who that is.. Probably due to not living in that part of the world..

While this is true that Bengal, which gave us Vivekananda, Paramhansa, Tagore, Aurobindo, Subhash Bose, Yogananda, Lahiri Mahasya, Bimal Mitra etc etc.

That Bengal has degraded so much that Communists who have been routed all over the world... are still ruling there

But behaviour of some Bengalis....does not degrade such great souls...who became pillars of hinduism.

Please read Vivekananda's books.... My spiritual journey started after reading his book Raja Yoga..

You should refrain from commenting on great souls... if you are a real hindu

Ur question seems to stem out of ur personal feelings about Bengalis. Look @ it in this way, Swami Vivekananda was interested in reviving Hinduism not Bengal. He gave a battered religion lots of hope and spirit at a time when it was badly needed n every Hindu shud be thankful for that.

I have been reading Vivekananda speeches & Books since childhood & admiring him for his thoughts.

To this day I never felt that he was a Bengali , & so, different from me in any way. ( I am not a Bengali). He is our own.

He may not be THE greatest, but certainly one among the greatest.

why make you to doubt about his greatness? he was really a great hero of the india...there is no question of being bengali or so. at that time when india was under the slavery of english, he taught the world about the greatness of the indian culture and virtues, sprituality and many other things on which we can become pride....still any doubt?

Have u ever read about his works or atlest his biography. One intelligent man can accomplish a great thing, which is never possible even if the world supplies billlions of fools.

Read his works and then think.

I think he is the greatest man even born.

He nailed the truth. No one could say it better than Vivekananada. I heard of greatest scholars, warriors, politicians, heroes. No one is so sure and right at the same time as Vivekananda, except Buddha.

without the slightest of the doubt he was a great man. his simplicity was truly remarkable. he was a true indian in the sense that he was the pioneer who proclaimed that indian cultures were the best all over the world. his address in chicago portrayed india as a marvellous country.

Any person who is remebered and spoken of for ages by people who have not seen him should naturally be great So is swamy vivekanda

I have no objection for you to have such opinion.

To gain credibility you should be above him in all traits. Are you sure?
